The Berkshire Bank Smart Business Rewards Card is a business rewards card designed for small business owners who don’t mind applying in a branch. There’s a welcome offer and ongoing rewards in the two categories you spend the most money in each month. The welcome offer is generous, considering the amount of spend required. The rewards are good, but not great. This card is only available in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, New York, and Rhode Island. We dive into the details in this Berkshire Smart Business Card review.
